One-Pot Mushroom Rice is a comforting and savory dish made with earthy mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and tender rice. The one-pot method ensures an easy preparation with minimal cleanup, delivering rich flavors in just 30 minutes. It’s the perfect side dish or main course for any occasion.

Ingredients

1 cup long-grain white rice (or basmati for added aroma)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth if preferred)

1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for added umami)

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and slightly brown.
  3. Stir in rice, coating it with the oil and flavors from the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Toast for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce (if using), then add dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.
  6. Remove the pot from heat, and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley.
  7. Serve immediately as a side dish or main course.

Notes

You can use basmati rice for a more aromatic flavor or brown rice for a nuttier taste. Brown rice may require more cooking time and liquid.

If you don’t have soy sauce, you can omit it or substitute with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.

Feel free to try different types of mushrooms, like portobello or shiitake, for varied textures and flavors.
